Top 10 Privileged Access Management Software Solutions

Identity-related threats are draining time and resources faster than security teams can keep up. The challenge is no longer just about stopping breaches; it’s about keeping up with the scale of alerts and risks. On average, organizations spend 11 person-hours investigating each identity-related security alert. Meanwhile, credential theft has soared 160% in 2025, making privileged accounts and non-human identities (NHIs) a prime target for attackers.

How agentic AI and non-human identities are transforming cybersecurity

Within the average enterprise, non-human identities (NHIs) now outnumber employees, contractors, and customers by anything between 10-to-1 and 92-to-1. Add to this the fragmentation of human identity management resulting from authorizing a single person’s access to multiple on-premises, cloud computing and hybrid environments, and enterprise identity and access management (IAM) becomes extremely challenging.

Still Using RBAC in AI? You're Already Behind.

Traditional role-based access control (RBAC) was built for structured systems - not for the messy, unstructured data that powers today’s AI workflows. In this video, we explore real-world healthcare scenarios where RBAC breaks down like mental health notes, lab results, and substance use histories buried in clinical documents. You’ll see how Protecto’s Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) solves this by understanding the user, prompt, and context - and enforcing policies in real time, without breaking AI functionality.

Ephemeral accounts don't leave an audit trail, and that's a problem

Ephemeral accounts are temporary, high-privilege accounts created for short-term use. They’re a convenient way to get quick, temporary access to systems, data or applications for one-off tasks. Need temporary admin rights for a few minutes? Just create an ephemeral account, complete your task and move on. But behind the convenience of these temporary credentials loom serious security threats.

Why Do You Need a Just-in-Time PAM Approach?

Privileged accounts are keys to critical systems and data. These keys can be dangerous if misused. The just-in-time (JIT) approach to privileged access management (PAM) solves this issue by aligning access, user needs, and time. In this post, we explain what just-in-time privileged access management is and how it helps organizations enhance their cybersecurity.

Episode 4: Bring automation to the heart of your privileged access workflows with PAM360

Enterprise security isn’t just about controlling who gets access. It’s about making those access workflows efficient, consistent, and free from error. In this episode of the PAM Masterclass, we’ll walk you through how PAM360 transforms repetitive admin work into automated, policy-driven workflows. It covers how to grant access only when required, revoke it automatically, and manage critical administrative tasks without manual effort, all while strengthening the organization’s security posture.

Why traditional IAM can't keep up, and how orchestration can fix it

Identity touches everything in modern IT. Whether it’s logging into email, provisioning a VM, or accessing a CRM, identity and access management (IAM) is the digital backbone of work. Yet the controls meant to safeguard it haven’t kept up with the scale, speed, and complexity of today’s environments. The cracks show up everywhere.

ShaiHulud, Nx & S1ngularitystyle Attacks: How JIT Access Stops the Chain Reaction

The Shai‑Hulud worm and the Nx / S1ngularity attacks show how token‑stealing malware, vulnerable workflows, and always‑on elevated permissions allow cascading compromise. Enforcing JIT access on repository, organization owner/admin roles, and team‑based inherited permissions sharply reduces exposure, limits damage, and strengthens audit/compliance posture.

The Required API Security Checklist [XLS download]

APIs are the foundation of modern applications, and attackers know it well. A single misconfigured endpoint or exposed token can give adversaries a direct path into sensitive systems and data across your environment. Your already overburdened security teams can’t afford to miss what may be their fastest-growing attack surface. How fast-growing is the threat?
